About Kubernetes Resources Reference
Help AI agents write accurate, up-to-date Kubernetes manifests by giving them the official Kubernetes API reference, so they can look up kinds, fields, and nested types with current specs across the latest and three previous Kubernetes versions.

6Lightweight discovery — one entry per Kubernetes resource. Use this first to discover available kinds.
Full resource detail — fields, spec, status, and list fields — enough to write a manifest in one call.
Drill into a single complex type referenced by get_resource (via type_ref fields).
Compare a resource kind between two of its API versions within Kubernetes v1.35 (e.g. v1beta1 vs v1): fields added, removed, or changed.
Changes introduced in Kubernetes v1.35 (this instance's version) since v1.34: resources and types added, removed, or structurally changed.
Changes the next Kubernetes version (v1.36) introduces relative to v1.35 (this instance's version): resources and types added, removed, or structurally changed.
Overview
What is Kubernetes Resources Reference?
Kubernetes Resources Reference is a free MCP server that provides official Kubernetes API resource definitions to any MCP-compatible AI agent. Users can ask natural-language questions about Kubernetes resources and get answers pulled directly from the Kubernetes API documentation, without needing to open a browser or search the docs manually.
How to use Kubernetes Resources Reference?
Connect your MCP‑compatible client by adding the server URL (e.g., https://mcp.kubernetools.com/?version=v1.36) to the client’s mcpServers configuration in JSON. No sign-up or API key is required. The ?version= parameter lets you specify which Kubernetes release to query; omit it to use the latest version.
